Title: cant see bitcoins in wallet
Post by: jclark95 on January 01, 2021, 12:55:58 PM
Hello,

I got some bitcoins a while ago and it was confirmed on the block chain that they had been sent to my wallet. Now i cant see them in my wallet, when I start armory it says its disconnected from Bitcoin Core but when armory starts it says that it is online. Bitcoin core is up to date. Can anybody help?

hello there!
if you have the public address, check it in blockchain.com
if you have the TX of the transaction you can check it by that also
some of the wallets are not actually wallets (because i cannot call a wallet something that doesn't let you control your private keys)
could you share more about this issue? like TX? address? when did you receive it

If you can see them on the blockchain, then just try to export the private key by following this guide[1] and then install electrum[2] and sweep them[3] there.

I don't use Armony wallet but very basics, if your bitcoin was moved to an address and you can check the balance in that address on bitcoin block explorer, your bitcoin is surely available in that wallet and that address.

The rest part is recover your wallet (Armony). You can move your topic to this child board Wallet software (Armony) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=97.0).
Also you need to edit your topic title: I can not see bitcoin in my Armony wallet.

List of useful Bitcoin block explorers (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197909.0) gives you many block explorers.

Blockchair.com explorer (https://blockchair.com/) is good but with any explorer, you should check your transaction with Tor.

If you already checked on Blockchain.com and your balance was there, it should be there if you are sending it to the correct Bitcoin address.  Now, your problem is Bitcoin core isn't fully synced to your armory wallet and I think this is the most common problem also among others.

I found a thread with the same problem as you and probably this will help you regarding that matter.
Armory Wallet stuck in Sync mode? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5258300.0)

Technically, I didn't deeply understand this armory wallet too but I also found this regarding issues using this armory wallet reading this Troubleshooting Tips for Armory (https://www.bitcoinarmory.com/troubleshooting/).

Its very likely a syncing issue. Bitcoin Core, and I believe armory by extension require downloading the entire Blockchain before it displays the correct values of each address. This can be avoided, like suggested above by sweeping your private keys into Electrum which is a lightweight client, which allows you to use it without having to download the entire blockchain.

Alternatively, you can continue downloading the Blockchain until you are fully up to date. Note, this requires a fair amount of data storage to be able to do.
